I entered Mexico with an open mind, and knowing very
little Spanish. I was truly amazed with
the awesome beauty, and kind nature of the Mexican people. The people of Mexico have their own rich
history and diverse culture, which is very intoxicating. Mexico exceeded my expectations with the
kindness and giving nature of its people.
Every time I need assistance there was always someone there to help, I
will never forget Mexico. Mexico is very
similar the US in many ways, they are also caught up in consumerism. They love Levis, Coca Cola, and going out to
dinner with their families. As far as
being a black man in Mexico, I got a lot of looks from people ages 8 to
80. It was like I was from Mars, nothing
offensive, but just more curiosity. I
was probably the first black man they have ever seen in real life. I kind of enjoyed being the odd man, but I would
always look them in the eye and say hola and smile…that would really catch them
off guard. My motto was to kill them
with kindness…and it worked every time. I
truly recommend Mexico for everyone, it is a great country.
